San Francisco Giants

The Giants enter this year’s season with high hopes of matching and surpassing last year’s success. San Francisco hasn’t made back-to-back appearances in the postseason since 2003, and facing the opportunity to snap that streak this season, the Giants have one focus in mind. Unfortunately, their current 6-9 record is not conducive to reaching that goal. That lackluster record isn’t doing much for San Francisco, since right now they’re ranked penultimate in the National League West. Wednesday’s game will mark the second of their 2-game series, their first against the Royals. San Francisco won the first game 2-1 but had to go through 11 innings to achieve that result.

Through 15 games, the Giants have been able to put up some noteworthy stats. San Francisco is 14th in runs (61), 17th in batting average (.239), 19th in on base percentage (.301), and 21st in slugging percentage (.378). The Giants will be sending Bumgarner to the mound, who is 0-2 this season with a 3.43 ERA.

Kansas City Royals

The Royals slide into this contest sporting a 6-7 record that ranks the club 5th in the Al West. Kansas City is coming off a season that saw the franchise fail to make the postseason, and the Royals are hoping that streak is cut short in 2017.

Despite the fact that they enter this contest as online MLB betting underdogs, the Royals actually look pretty good on paper. Kansas City owns the MLB’s 8th best earned run average (3.49), 4th best quality starts (9), 21st best WHIP (1.32) and even the 10th best BAA (.230). The Royals will be sending Jason Vargas to the mound, who owns a 2-0 record and an impressive 0.66 ERA.
